GZ ORTHOPEDICS Carbon Fiber Implants
GZ Orthopedics Carbon Fiber Implants
GZ Orthopedics Carbon Fiber Implants
GZ ORTHOPEDICS nails, plates, and pedicle screws are made of continuous carbon fibers reinforced polymer.
The Polymer (PEEK) adhere the fibers together.
The continuous carbon fibers are layered in a unidirectional, longitudinal orientation, as well as in helical / diagonal orientation.

about the product
GZ ORTHOPEDICS CARBON FIBER IMPLANTS
WHY CARBOFIX CARBON FIBER IMPLANTS
CARBON FIBER IMPLANTS TECHNOLOGY
GZ ORTHOPEDICS “Piccolo” nails & plates are made of continuous carbon fibers reinforced polymer. The continuous carbon fibers are woven in a unidirectional orientation at the core of the nail. The core is wrapped by additional helical fibers. The GZ ORTHOPEDICS “Piccolo” plates are made out of continuous carbon fibers in longitudinal as well as diagonal orientation.
CT & MRI: No artifacts
The GZ ORTHOPEDICS implants allow CT & MRI scans with no/minimal artifacts caused by the carbon fibers implant. Clear imaging of the soft tissue surrounding the bone is advantageous in pathological cases.
Unparalleled fatigue strength
In comparative fatigue experiments of Ø8.5mm nails, a Titanium rod failed after 40,000 cycles, a Stainless Steel rod failed after 440,000 cycles, and the CarboFix nail did not fail even after 4,000,000 cycles.
Radiolucency
GZ ORTHOPEDICS implants are radiolucent, offering improved fracture and tissue imaging intra-op & post-op. The fracture line can be seen clearly through the implant which does not disrupt the view.
Improved modulus of elasticity
The modulus of elasticity of the composite material is close to that of cortical bone. This might lower the risk for stress risers and secondary fractures, as well as to contribute to early fracture healing.
GZ ORTHOPEDICS “Piccolo” Implants Portfolio Includes
Intramedullary nails for Humerus, Tibia & Femur, as well as Ankle Arthrodesis nail
Plates for Distal Radius, Proximal Humerus & Distal Fibula and others.
